A federal judge ruled in August 2022 that Idaho doctors cannot be punished for performing an abortion to protect their patient's health after the Biden administrationfor not including the provision in the six-week ban, which is in effect alongside the near-total ban. Exceptions to the law also include affirmative defenses in cases of rape or incest, but only if the victim has a police report.
Residents from Idaho seeking abortions will typically venture to nearby states such as Washington and Oregon, where abortion is legal. However, the new law will criminalize anyone who drives a minor to the Idaho border without parental consent and with the intent to get an abortion out of state. Republican state Rep. Barbara Ehardt, one of the sponsors of the legislation, said the intent of the law is to prevent out-of-state travel despite the text discussing intrastate travel.in an interview. “So, it would be taking that child across the border, and if that happens without the permission of the parent, that’s where we’ll be able to hold accountable those that would subvert a parent’s right.
